TI  - The surgical treatment of 30 patients with cardiac myxomas: a comparison of 
      clinical features according to morphological classification.
PG  - 596-8
AB  - Thirty patients with cardiac myxomas whose main clinical symptoms included 
      congestive heart failure, tachyarrhythmia, chest pain and emboli, were 
      successfully treated with surgery. The cardiac myxomas were found in the left 
      atrium in 23 patients, the right atrium in 6, and the right ventricle in 1. 
      Complete follow-up was conducted from 1 month to 15 years (mean 5.4 years) on 28 
      patients, 24 of whom were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class I, and 2 of 
      whom were in NYHA Class II. The actuarial survival rate was 89% 15 years after 
      surgery and no recurrent myxomas have been identified clinically or by 
      echocardiography in any of the patients. Thus, an aggressive surgical approach is 
      recommended prior to the development of heart failure or other complications 
      whenever cardiac tumors are detected.
